US rules out foul play in Pakistan diplomat’s death
There is no suggestion of foul play in the death of a US diplomat who was found shot at his home in Islamabad on Monday, the State Department said.
Spokesman Sean McCormack identified the diplomat as Keith Ryan, an attache from the Department of Homeland Security working on immigration and customs enforcement at the Islamabad embassy.
“It’s a sad, sad event,” McCormack told reporters, expressing condolences to Ryan’s family.
Investigations were continuing, he said, “but we have no indication at this point that it involves foul play.” No further details were available on Ryan, who Pakistani police said had apparently shot himself in the head.
